由前OpenAI员工Ashley Pilipiszyn创办的初创公司Besxar正在通过与SpaceX的合作，逐步推进太空半导体制造计划。1公司已融资近1400万美元，其中包括由Dauntless Ventures和Overture VC领投的900万美元种子轮融资。1根据合作协议，Besxar将在约12次猎鹰9火箭助推器飞行中进行轨道半导体工厂原型的测试。1
首批两个小型试验容器已在7月的星链任务中成功飞行，验证了样品在太空真空环境中的洁净度保持情况。1与地球非飞行样品相比，这些飞行样品的颗粒物污染水平为最低。1Besxar的目标是为数据中心、机器人和电动汽车等领域的先进芯片制造商供应高质量晶圆。1Pilipiszyn表示："在物理特性已经运行良好的地方进行制造反而更具成本效益。"1
Besxar, a startup founded by former OpenAI employee Ashley Pilipiszyn, is developing advanced semiconductor precursors in space through a partnership with SpaceX 1. The company has raised nearly $14 million, including a $9 million seed round led by Dauntless Ventures and Overture VC, to fund its orbital manufacturing initiative 1.
The company plans to conduct approximately 12 test flights aboard SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket boosters to validate a prototype orbital semiconductor factory 1. Two small containers successfully flew on a Starlink mission in July, demonstrating that samples could maintain cleanliness in the vacuum environment of space 1. The flight samples showed the lowest particulate contamination compared to non-flight samples produced on Earth 1.
Pilipiszyn stated that "we're at a time where it's actually more cost-effective to go where the physics already works," reflecting the company's strategy of leveraging space conditions for manufacturing 1.
Besxar intends to supply advanced wafers to chip manufacturers serving data centers, robotics, and electric vehicle sectors 1.
